Paralympics = Parallel Universe?

Britain has just netted its 100th medal in the Paralympics at Beijing. When our atheletes are doing this well surely they deserve the recognition and coverge that should accompany their acheivements rather than being pretty nigh ignored. Looks like the media treatment of the other games parallels the widespread marginalisation of the disabled in public life that bodies like the new Equalities Commission was meant to be addressing, which is a great shame.
